Hi ,

If we have large number of Linux and Windows machines in our infrastructure ( Suppose 100+ windows and Linux machines ) . Manual installation takes large amount of time . How we can automate beat remote installation in windows and Linux machines ?

Usually people will use things like Ansible/Puppet/Salt/Chocolatey to do this. Or, have an image of the OS with apps that they can put on a new host.

We are working on the Elastic Agent, that will be a single install that then pulls in configurations for all of the other Beats, which will also help.
